71. Grinding
Since the autumn and winter, many noble merchants and nobles have come to Lishi County. Nowadays, some people are stranded in the county. Just looking at the appearance of these people, no one can tell which people are pretending to be bad in their stomachs.
Luo Yong was not so naive that he thought that all of them were good people, and there were always some people with ulterior motives involved.
So this time, it was not a powerful boss who took action. It was just a few unparalleled little people like Feng Si. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what happened to Aunt Yin.
This time, Luo Yong was reminded, and people in Xipo Village and even the entire Lishi County. From then on, everyone became more wary of strangers. The idle merchants who lived in the city recently felt that as soon as they went out to walk around, several eyes immediately came to see him.
Some people who came to Lishi County a year ago, came back this time and obviously felt the difference in the atmosphere.
"What's wrong? What happened in Lishi County recently?" After entering the guesthouse that I was familiar with, I couldn't help but ask the previous question.
"You haven't heard it yet? A few days ago, a few gangsters kidnapped a young lady in Xipo Village. Luo Sanlang and others chased him all the way to Fenzhou and found the person back." Without waiting for the store owner to speak, other customers in the hall were enthusiastic explanations.
"There is such a thing?" The visitor said in surprise.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. This man just arrived today. The young lady in Xipo Village was captured. However, Na Luo Sanlang did not arrive in Fenzhou." Other guests on the side were also correcting him in a verbal manner.
"I heard that it was the village chief of their village, and the young lady's father, who went with several officials sent by governor Hao."
“That’s true.”
"But it was also because Na Luo Sanlang had found Feng Si's background in the city before, otherwise this would not be that easy."
"Why didn't Luo Sanlang go to Fenzhou?" Some people think that with the character of the coffin board, they must have committed suicide in person and passed by.
"What else can you do? You can't ride a horse." Someone in the store said with a smile. In this era, not being able to ride a horse is definitely not something worth boasting about.
So what if he doesn't know how to ride a horse, then Feng Si and others can ride a horse. After all the mechanisms have set up such a clever plan, he finally caught it out. From Luo Sanlang entering the city to Feng Si and others being revealed, it took only half a day.
I think Luo Sanlang is only sixteen years old, but he has already taken root in Lishi County. This time, Aunt Yin’s incident not only showed everyone the influence of Luo Sanlang in Lishi County, but also made some people with bad intentions see clearly that this coffin board is not easy to mess with. This time they can chase all the way to Fenzhou for Aunt Yin. So what about the next time? Who would like to try it?
"The case handling speed in Xicheng is very fast." Someone said.
"Of course it's fast." A young businessman at the table next to him smiled and said, "From Lishi County to Taiyuan Prefecture and Chang'an City, you have to pass through Naxicheng County. You can tell that in just one year, how many more shops does Naxicheng County have than in previous years?"
"That's right, every time I pass by Luliang Mountain, I have to rest in Xicheng County."
"Who dares to neglect when you are in trouble?"
"Unless the mind is filled with paste."
"If this matter is not handled properly, some people are afraid of it and have to learn from it."
"The few people around Luo Sanlang are afraid that they won't be enough for them to share."
"If that happens, Lishi County will not be long before it will return to the same situation as before."
"It is naturally not very beneficial to Naxicheng County."
“…”
Not only in the city, but also in Xipo Village, the villagers were talking privately. Since Aunt Yin came back, they have been bedridden and the doctor invited him, saying that it was nothing serious. Although he was injured, he could still recover his youth and carefully.
The villagers were very dissatisfied with the Yin Dalang couple, and the entire Yin family had to look at the expressions of people in the village.
On this day, Tiancun was gathering all the villagers for a meeting, but the location was chosen at the Lin family, because only their family in the village had such a large hall.
It is of course a relatively shameful thing to be selected as a place for the whole village to discuss matters. Lin's mother ordered several daughters-in-law to boil hot water and eat it with the villagers, and then took some persimmon cakes to distribute to the children who came to join in the fun.
Lin's mother has always been frugal, and her fingers are very tight. The reason why she is willing to take persimmon cakes this time is because she was harshly said by the villagers a while ago. This time she has a rare opportunity to show her reputation, so she is very generous.
"...Sanlang, please tell me about this matter of the Yin family." As soon as the matter was about Yin Dalang and his wife, Tamura Masato asked Luo Yong to express his opinion. After all, the fuse of this matter, that is, Aunt Yin's skill in knitting sweaters, was learned from the Luo family.
As soon as Tamura Masato said this, everyone in the hall turned their attention to Luo Yong. Luo Yong was sitting on the hot kang at this time. There were only a few people in the room who could sit on the kang. Except for the elderly in the village, Tamura Masato was one, and Luo Yong was also one.
"It's good that people come back, and nothing else matters." Luo Yong said:
"I probably don't know that the reason why Yin Dalang went to the Qin family to pick up people that day was because he was urging me. That day, I heard from my sister that Aunt Yin should have come back on the fifth and sixth day of the lunar month, but when it was eighth day of the lunar month, I felt a little relieved."
"How could you know in advance?" someone in the hall said wonderingly.
"How could I know in advance? It's just a little worried. Aunt Yin has a jealous skill, so naturally some people covet it. On weekdays, he should be cautious. Not only Aunt Yin, but other young ladies in the village who can knit sweaters, but also villagers who can make tofu should also be careful." Luo Yong reminded everyone.
"Ouch..." After Luo Yong said this, even the big men in the village felt that their situation was not very good.
"The more in this case, the more people in the village should be united and never betray their faith for their own selfish interests." Tamura Masato said at this time.
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but look at the people of the Yin family. When Aunt Yin said that those bad guys had not learned the skills of knitting sweaters, the Yin Dalang and his wife did not take this skill seriously. They could only tell that they would go to the money and almost harm the daughters of the whole village.
In the eyes of villagers, once this craft is spread, the value of these girls in their village will immediately fall. Maybe how many people will miss a good marriage? What isn’t this harmful to people for the rest of their lives?
The Yin family members were all hanging their heads at this time, looking at a loss. Needless to say, after experiencing this incident, their family's status in the village will inevitably plummet.
How to deal with this problem in front of you? Although Yin Dalang and his wife were blinded by lard, they were not considered bad people. To put it bluntly, if they were replaced by other villagers, those people might not be able to see clearly and withstand it. They are just ordinary farmers, and you cannot use the standards of moral role models to ask them. Luo Yong has a mediocre relationship with them and has never thought of giving them behind their backs, so they naturally have no high requirements.
Luo Yong turned his attention to the old people in the village and Masato Tamura, but found that those people were looking at him.
"Cough." Luo touched his nose and asked Tianmura Masashi: "This time Aunt Yin was captured by a villain. The villagers of our Xipo Village worked together and helped a lot. You see, should the Yin family have made some statements?"
Tamura looked at Luo, as if he was dissatisfied with his unhappiness. At this time, he would still give face to the Yin family. He was obviously apologizing, but he insisted on saying it as a thank you. However, since Luo had already said this, he couldn't refute it anymore, so he said casually:
"There is no need to mention money. Since the villagers have worked hard for the Yin family before, the Yin family will repay them with labor. There is a stone mill in the village, so I asked them to push the mills for everyone for a month. How can you think?"
"..." The villagers were humming, as if they were a little dissatisfied.
"Just do it like this." At this time, another old man on the kang said, "Although Yin Dalang and his wife were greedy, they were not malicious. In the end, they were deceived by the traitor, so they were punished to push the grinding for a month."
"In my opinion, I have to settle the accounts with Aunt Yin's uncle's family first."
"Yes, it's really a fool in our Xipo Village!"
"I'll go tomorrow!"
"It also means that those who want to learn will see the consequences."
"Yes! I think about this matter these days, and the more I think about it, the more I become more and more afraid."
"It's better to get rid of this sign."
When talking about the fact that Yin Dalang and his wife were deceived by their relatives, the villagers were very indignant. The main reason was that they were afraid that such a thing would happen to them one day in the future, so they must act in a tough position at this time.
The group of people made an appointment and rushed to the uncle Yin's house early the next morning. A group of men from Xipo Village carried hoes and poles to kill the generals, and cleaned up the Qin Silang and his wife. Not only did they ask them to spit out all the money they had eaten, but they also paid some compensation.
The money was taken to the newly repaired Xu's house at the entrance of Xipo Village, and ordered some wine and vegetables. A group of men threw their arms around and ate it clean.
No matter what the taste is in my heart, just chew meat and eat vegetables in big mouthfuls. There are no obstacles that cannot be overcome in life. There are only about twenty families in Xipo Village, and many of them have withered people. If they don’t unite with their own people, who else can they count on?
The next day, Yin Dalang and his wife helped people grind soy milk at Caoting. Many villagers took the beans soaked at home, and Luo Yong also took some beans.
It’s not that Luo used this free labor force to take beans, just to show his attitude, whether it’s apologizing or grateful, he said that he was willing to accept it, so he took beans to grind them.
At first, there were people in the village who were unwilling to use beans to grind them. Later, they were persuaded by familiar villagers, and their attitudes basically softened.
It is also very hard to keep pushing the mill. Yin Dalang and his wife worked hard for several days and felt a little exhausted.
On this day, the old man from Yin came to Caoting with his hands behind his back, pushed away the eldest son who was pushing the mill, and started to push the millstone himself.
"Aye!" Yin Dalang and his wife burst into tears.
"Cry so hard, be careful to salt the tofu from the villagers." Old Master Yin cursed.
Another day, Yin Sanlang and his wife also went to help. The whole family rotated to push the grinding, pushing the stone grinding of Caoting for a while without stopping.
